Congrats Mr. Idol and thanks for great 80s music. I luved when "Miami Vice" used Idol's "Don't Need a Gun" in a car sequence.

He was gone:

Was it the motorcycle accident..?

Cool, had no idea he would care to. Love the music.

I have him on Facebook, but he doesn’t post much. When he does it’s been showing places in England, so I had no inkling he’d actually be interested in going US.

Wow, I had no idea he was interested in becoming a U.S. citizen. Went to one of his concerts in the 80s in a very small venue... sat in the front row. GREAT concert!

He appeared in an 80’s reunion show at the L.A. Forum a couple of years ago.

I need to know what his workout routine is. The guy has a helluva six-pack, and he’s got a few years on me.
